'There is no credible evidence that the case was a homicide': Cops reveal pharmacy intern, 25, left a two sentence reminder on his phone that proved he made his own suicide look like MURDER Alvin Ahmed, 25, disappeared on July 16 ,2018 after finishing a shift at the pharmacy The recent university graduate had gone to buy groceries for his mother after Detectives found the food and his pharmacy coat in his abandoned car His body was pulled from nearby lake two days later, with a gunshot to the head Police have now ruled he died by suicide, but set it up to look more sinister The 25-year-old pharmacy intern whose death launched a murder investigation had staged his own suicide to look suspicious, police say. Alvin Ahmed disappeared on July 16, after finishing his shift at a local Publix in Georgia. He had bought groceries for his mother, but they never made it home, and were found in his car along with his pharmacy coat. Earlier, he had claimed to family and friends a group of young men had approached him, demanding information about his watch, his wage and his car. Police now say all of these things, which would ordinarily be indicative of a more sinister death, were planned by Ahmed to make his suicide appear more suspicious. Corporal Michele Pihera told the Atlanta Courier Journal investigating officers found evidence on Ahmed's phone showing he had planned to buy the groceries, and planned to leave his watch and switched-off phone at a nearby restaurant. He then planned to walk two miles to a lake, where he then took his own life. The two-sentence note about his evening schedule was found in a 'reminders' app on his phone His actions in the immediate lead-up to his death, and his comments about being accosted by the young men, led his family to believe their brother and son had been abducted. The 25-year-old university graduate had told family and friends he'd been accosted by a group of young men before he disappeared, and left groceries in his car for his mother before taking his own life on July 16,2018 His body was dragged out of a nearby lake with a single, self-inflicted gunshot to the head just two days later, but investigators struggled to immediately confirm the identity of the body But Pihera said a two-sentence reminder in an app on his phone had unravelled the recent university graduate's plan, and proven it was suicide. 'The phone data contained a note which indicated that Mr. Ahmed staged certain elements of the case to cast suspicion that he had been murdered,' Pihera said. 'There is no credible evidence that the case was a homicide.' His older brother Kalvin Ahmed said the phone has not been found, but the app could be accessed via the internet. Two days after Ahmed went missing, his body was pulled out of a lake in Gwinnett County. Medical examiners determined the body had died from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head. Police say a two-sentence reminder on an app in Ahmed's phone proved he had staged the more suspicious aspects of his disappearance Further investigation showed the bullet had been fired from a gun Ahmed purchased the month before. Ahmed could not be properly identified for weeks though, as his dental records could not be located, and fingerprint testing was inconclusive. DNA testing had to be done to confirm the body was that of the missing 25-year-old. His family have shared the devastating news with Facebook, announcing on Ahmed's account: 'The body has been confirmed to be Alvin. Thank you for all the love and support'. But his brother Kalvin said while finding the body brought his family some closure, it would never be enough. He said they don't understand how Alvin came to be in the lake, 'and I don't think we will'. Source
